“Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.”
2Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.
“Jehu, the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore, the wrath of the Lord is upon you.”
“And Jehu, the son of Hanani, the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.”
“but Jehu the son of Hanani the seer, went out to meet him and said to the king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.”
“And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him. And said to king Jehoshaphat should thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord. Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.”
“the son of Hananiah, the seer, went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord, therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.”
3However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God."
“Nevertheless there are good things found in thee in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.”
“Nevertheless, there are good things found in thee that thou has taken away the groves out of the land and has prepared thine heart to seek God.”
4Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
“Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.”
“And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem, and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to Mount Ephraim and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers.”
5He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.
“And he set judges in the land throughout all the cities of Judah city by city.”
6Then he said to the judges, "Consider carefully what you do, for you are not judging for man, but for the LORD, who is with you when you render judgment.
“And he said to the judges, take heed what you do, for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord who is with you in the judgment.”
7And now, may the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery."
“Wherefore, now let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Take heed and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord, our God, nor respect of persons nor taking of gifts.”
“Now let the fear of the Lord be upon you. So take heed and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect to persons, nor taking of gifts.”
8Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites, priests, and heads of the Israelite families to judge on behalf of the LORD and to settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem.
“Moreover, in Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat said of the Levites and of the priests and of the chief of the fathers of Israel for the judgment of the Lord and for controversies when they returned to Jerusalem.”

“he charged them saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a perfect heart.”
“and he charged them saying, thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully and with a perfect heart.”
“And he charged him, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully and with a perfect heart.”
10For every dispute that comes before you from your brothers who dwell in their cities—whether it regards bloodshed or some other violation of law, commandments, statutes, or ordinances—you are to warn them, so that they will not incur guilt before the LORD and wrath will not come upon you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not incur guilt.
“And what cause whoever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in the cities between blood and blood, between law and commandments, statues and judgment, you shall even warn them that they trespass not against the Lord. And…”
